A new batch of Trump campaign advertisements featuring astronauts and spaceship launches has attracted attention from an advertising industry publication, which pointed out that Trump has never mentioned any substantial plans for the U.S. space program.

The internet advertisements juxtapose portraits of Trump peering into the distance with the poorly blended NASA images and the slogan, "Aspire to greatness." They first appeared in July, shortly after the Trump campaign reportedly launched a massive increase in online ad spending.
